Rapper Tinie Tempah crowned snappiest dresser by GQ mag, while Prince William drops out of top 50 (making way for Harry and Charles)

Rapper Tinie Tempah has been crowned this year's best-dressed man – while the Duke of Cambridge has dropped out of the annual list.

William made his debut at number 27 in GQ magazine's ranking of 50 Best-Dressed Men in 2011.

But he has now slipped out of the list completely, while his brother Prince Harry is 25th – down from fifth place last year – and his father, the Prince of Wales, is 50th.

King of style: Tinie Tempah was voted best-dressed by GQ magazine and was credited with possessing 'true passion for elegance and proportions'

The magazine said of Harry: 'His brother may end up as king, but this year the younger son has been crowned the prince of style' for looking good in 'uniforms… well-cut suits (and) the dishevelled tumbling-out-of-a-nightclub jeans'.

Charles was said to have made 50th place for 'proving the point that some men seem to grow into their wardrobe with age'.

The top 10 features Plumstead rapper Tempah, who is credited with possessing a 'true passion for elegance and proportions', in first place, followed by mohawk-sporting Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli and Doctor Who star Matt Smith, for being able to look 'pretty cool' in clothes that 'should be a joke'.

Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson is fourth, ahead of Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield and Superman's Henry Cavill, for being able to pull off a 'superhero outfit and a medieval doublet and hose'.

The Wire star Idris Elba, The Dark Knight's Christian Bale, Kasabian guitarist Sergio Pizzorno and Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown, who could wear 'a pair of plimsolls as earrings and part of you would wonder if you should, too', complete the top 10.

David Beckham has moved up three places from 16 last year to 13 in 2012.

Take That star and X Factor judge Gary Barlow is a new entry at 16, and X Factor host Dermot O'Leary moves from 40 in 2011 to 18.

Irish-German actor Michael Fassbender has been named the most stylish international man.

The worst-dressed list is topped by US rapper Chris Brown, followed by David Cameron's director of strategy Steve Hilton, and Strictly star and football pundit Robbie Savage for looking like 'a reject from a Mills & Boon cover'.

TV chef Jamie Oliver made ninth place in the worst-dressed list.

Celebrities and fashion experts including Tom Ford, Christopher Bailey, Gary Barlow and David Walliams were among those on the GQ panel who compiled the top 50.
